orthopedic surgeon that one job
high school football season i dedicate my life to friday nights
Friday nights the lights come on
as i'm standing on the sidelines,
waiting for the home team to run out
anxiously awaiting while i mark off my checklist
ice, check, prewrap check, last but not least attention span check
the crowds standing up yelling, let kick off begin
watching the game closely with the schools athletic trainer
and within split seconds, BOOM it happens
running ,sprinting, out to the field
hurrying, quickly, this is a big deal
ow! no! screaming the quaterback
tell us whats wrong, we need to roll you over
but oh i see the damage has been done
it's broken i'm sure it's broken i say
call the paramedics right now as in today!
he can't roll over because his hips out of place
paramedics arrive on the count of three lift
boys knealing, stands crying, everyone gathered to pray
walking back to the sideline thinking man that was the wrong play
the game goes on and it's not the same
while i'm watching the game i can't stay into
thinking of the quaterback saying i know what i would do
i would cut there put this here and make him brand new
so anxious knowing I could do that surgeons job
i could make him brand new
i could make him BRAND NEW
My one job that would change my life need i say more?
a job that can change my life forever i would never want for more
four years of university, four years of med school
three years of residencey
i can make it thru
to get his job you need to be the best?
i mark that off my checklist because i have been taught nothing less
negative thoughts of not having time to do much may try and stop me
but i will block it out and not let it top me
with my family behind me seeing my potential
i feel so blessed and also very grateful
with them rooting for me i know anything is possible
that one job that would change my life
an orthopedic surgeon need i say more?
it takes the best and only best
and i WILL qualify for that
an orthopedic surgeon
that one job
an orthopedic surgeon
that dream job
that one job
will change my life forever
